Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN): Parwaneh Hosseinpanahi, sister of the Kurdish political prisoner known as Ramin Hossein Panahi who was executed in September, has been telephone summoned, interrogated and threatened by the intelligence Office of Sanandaj.

According to a family member, Ms. Hossein Panahi was summoned due to her attempts to find out how her brother was buried. Interrogators have threatened her that she did not have the right to make enquiries regarding her brother’s burial ground.

Ms. Hossein Panahi has been summoned by the Intelligence Office of Sanandaj and Qorveh several times in addition to being arrested once. She had been previously sentenced to five years of suspended imprisonment on charges of “propaganda against the state through interviews with foreign media abroad”.

Ramin Hossein Panahi, a Kurdish political activist, was executed on Sept 8, 2018 along with two other political prisoners, Zanyar and Loghman Moradi, in an unknown location in Karaj. So far, it is unclear where these Kurdish civilians have been buried and the enquiries of their families have been futile in this regard.
